Paul Bartlett is CEO of CloudPay, a global payroll solution for multinational organizations.

Human resources (HR) and payroll each play key roles in the employer-employee relationship. For either department to run smoothly, there must be collaboration between the two. At a macro level, however, the relationship between HR and payroll can be fraught with challenges.

Payroll can be heavy on numbers. HR can be heavy on people. Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam.

But, while various enterprise software solutions help bridge the divide between HR and payroll (and their personnel), they rarely do it well. Traditional payroll solutions have largely underserved the HR-payroll.
